Burn the map
You made the choice.
Took the turn.
Started down the road.
But part of you keeps glancing at the other option.
Checking traffic on routes you'll never drive.
Wondering what the view looks like from there.
We think keeping options open feels safe.
But open doors leak energy.
They pull your attention backward while your body moves forward.
Commitment isn't about certainty.
It's about closing the loop.
Trusting what you chose enough to stop rehearsing the alternative.
The valiant don't hedge.
They pick a direction and move.
Not because they're sure.
Because split focus never arrived anywhere.
Holding onto the path you didn't take splits your energy. Real momentum begins when you stop looking back.
